We found this pub when we were looking for a short (around 2 miles) walk to do with our dog which included a pub lunch. We found a circular walk online which started and ended at the RSoE (and its very large car park) so we'd built up an appetite by the time we arrived. It's dog friendly throughout and the staff made a fuss of the dog. The only water though was outside which our dog (being of the fussy variety) turned his nose up at so I'd take my own bowl in future if yours is of a similar disposition.

There was a lot of choice for us on the menu and everything which came past looked very appetising. We enjoyed our meals and thought the prices were reasonable and comparable with other similar places. The pub itself is worth a visit for the history alone although best to sit by the window if possible as it's lighter there. The staff were also very helpful in providing treats to get our dog back in the car which was much appreciated.

If you're interested the walk is also available at the entrance to the pub so you could pick one up there too. Well worth a visit.
